When preparing a statement for traffic tickets, clearly describe the incident, including date, time, location, and any relevant circumstances. Stick to factual information without admitting fault. Review the ticket details carefully and address any discrepancies.
A no contest (nolo contendere) plea is most useful if theres a chance you might be facing civil charges stemming from your current criminal charge.
Advantages of a Trial by Written Declaration​ Flexibility: You can prepare your case on your schedule. Potential for Dismissal: If the officer doesnt respond, the ticket may be dismissed. Opportunity for Trial de Novo: If unsuccessful, you can request a new trial in person.
Talk to the judge Only 3-5 percent of all tickets are contested. Half of those who contest their tickets have their cases dismissed altogether, while the other half receives reduced fines or plea bargains. A reasonable defense will steel your resolve, and increase your chances for success in beating your ticket.
Trial by Written Declaration Example: Speeding Ticket On the mentioned date, I was driving on [Road/Highway Name] heading [Direction], maintaining a steady pace with the flow of traffic. The citation states a violation of California Vehicle Code Section [Section Number], alleging my speed exceeded the legal limit.

A declaration is an official statement, or proclamation, such as an affidavit. If the person making the declaration (called the declarant) lies in it, the declarant may be guilty of perjury.
If you are charged with an infraction violation and you want to dispute your ticket, you can challenge your citation in writing without having to appear in person at court. This is called a trial by written declaration. The court will decide your case without you having to go to court.
